March Month End Meeting

We had a great gathering of folks for our latest month end meeting....but before we show more photos, here are a few timely reminders:

• You still have time to get your tickets for the Paula Laverty presentation on Grenfell Mats.  Her talk will take place Sunday April 28, at 2pm.  It’ll be at the William Academy (aka the former CDCI West) on King Street West.  For more info, you can read our blog post here, or head over to the Northumberland Learning Connection site here.  Her presentation is part of the program called Newfoundland: The Damnedest Hullabaloo.

• Also in April is the OHCG's Annual Conference in London, Ontario.  While the first few days are for OHCG members only, the displays and vendors are open to the general public on the Sunday, $10 admission.  It takes place April 12-14 - click here for more details.

• Registration is still open for our Hook-In and Regional East Workshops, scheduled for September 30.  You can opt to take one of 4 fantastic workshops, or simply attend the hook-in (or both!).  The theme is The Heat Is ON and will explore climate change as a theme.  There will be guest speakers, vendors, and even a scissor/blade sharpener (Chris Poole)!  For more information, check out our dedicated website.  Registration for the workshops closes June 28, 2019.

...and now back to the photos from Monday!

Check out Sheila's mat, using up worms - fantastic!

She also brought in a lovely pillow, with sculpted sections.

Martina has been working on a fantastic piece depicting blue jay feathers.

Check out Nancy M's chickens!  They were a big hit.

Here's Judy C's washday scene:

Here's Tanya's next project, ready to roll!

Joyce made an insert to go on to a lovely purse from Kirkpatrick's Leather in Port Hope.

Of course, it wouldn't be hooking without a dog or 2 on hand!  This is Xavier getting some much deserved love.

Here is Dianne's Mummer taking shape.  It's based on a painting by local artist David Blackwood (used with permission of the artist).

And last, but certainly not least, Francine brought in her northern lights rug.  It's going to be huge! We're using snippets of this rug in some of our promotions for The Heat Is ON.
